I'm interested whether seasoned domainer's on here fear the introduction of new gTLDs? I'm a bit of a sporadic poster, so I'm sure there have been a number of discussions on this topic. Only I've trailed through a number of threads and have come across few discussions I would describe as thorough.
Anyway, a few questions:
1. Would you buy into a new extension?
2. What, if any, extension would you like to see brought in? How about the old 7 that were never introduced? (.web, .rec, etc.).
3. Do you feel that some may profit from the "liberalisation" of the TLD? Obviously ICAAN will, but what about the average private company putting forward a business plan looking to make a quick buck?
4. As far as I'm aware, it takes no more than $185,000 to foot a new gTLD. Other expenditure costs excluded, that amounts to, very roughly, 30,000 domain registrations. Looking at .mobi, surpassing the 400,000 registration mark, do you believe there is a danger of market saturation?
